Spyker Archives - cars & life blog

Saab’s condition turned into chaos. For one year, nobody wanted to buy and last minute Spyker felt in love with Saab. From the press releases, Spyker wants to buy but there are some obstacles! Something like this; can we sell Saab cars? Or can we survive after we finance Saab? They are making business and these kind of expectations are very normal.

Buying Saab is quite risky and you should lots of money to spend and supported by huge income. Hmm; I think Ecclestone is a good choice or Kuwait Invesment. Kuwait Investment bought Aston Martin, I think they own %7 of Mercedes Benz and probably some other firms also. They could ass Saab to their portfolio.

Saab’ safety features did not help to save Saab!

GM sold the technology of 9-3 and 9-5 models and nothing has left for Spyker! BAIC is going to reveal a based on these models technology and probably it will look very similar to SAAB.

I wonder, while making this decision what GM was thinking? I can sell both the company and its technology seperately and make more money ? Probably!

What Spyker would do with this condition? If VW has bought the SAAB brand, consequences would be different but Spyker does not have that much of capital and R&D. SAAB was making very safe cars but customers are looking for both safe and features technologies to proof that safety. And those technology are mostly avaiable in German brand as usual.

Good Luck Spyker
